If a right triangle's hypotenuse is 17 units long, and one of its legs is 15 units long, how long is the other leg?

8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

So, there's a formula we can apply to right-angled triangles: Pythagorean's theorem. It states that  c = , where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the legs of the triangle.

So, from the problem,  if c = 17 and a = 15, then, we're solving for b. So we'll rewrite the theorem to solve for b.

Okay, so now we have isolated the theorem for b. Let's plug in our values for c and a.

So, using the theorem, we found b = 8. To check our work, let's plug in b and a and solve for c.

So, we got our hypotenuse to equal 17 units, which is correct! So, our b is correct too. Awesome

option: d is the correct answer.

d) none of the above.

step-by-step explanation:

clearly from the figure attached to the question we could see that there is no shape given. hence without any shape given in the figure and after rotation we can't obtained a square pyramid.

since, to obtain a image we need a proper figure of the pre-image so that it can be transformed.

hence, the correct answer is:

d) none of the above.
